Present disclosure relates to a kind of two method and apparatus that the maximum power point condition is discerned that are used for the PV Blast Furnace Top Gas Recovery Turbine Unit (TRT) that comprises the PV module that is connected in series.The comparison that this method is carried out based on the MPP voltage of the estimation under the MPP voltage that will record and the even irradiance condition.
In the method, maximum power point voltage and maximum power point electric current are determined.This determines can to produce by using that the PV Blast Furnace Top Gas Recovery Turbine Unit (TRT) can carry out with its method of carrying out the maximum power point of work.The example of maximum power point tracing method comprises admittance method of addition and disturbance observation.Basically, be that maximum power point electric current and voltage are measured to the working point of described module, and measured value is continued on for method according to disclosure.
In the method, environment temperature is determined, and used the maximum power point electric current I
MPPCalculate the maximum power point voltage of estimation with determined environment temperature.
Maximum power point voltage and the determined maximum power point voltage estimated are compared.Based on maximum power point of estimating and the comparison between the determined maximum power point, determine that the PV Blast Furnace Top Gas Recovery Turbine Unit (TRT) is to work or have under the condition of two maximum power points to work under homogeneous condition.
When differing by more than scheduled volume between maximum power point voltage of estimating and the determined maximum power point voltage, then judge two maximum power points of existence.
The MPP voltage of estimating in this method is the MPP voltage under the homogeneous condition.This estimation is based on number and the type and the condition of work of the PV module that is connected in series, for example temperature of irradiance, environment temperature and PV module.Determined MPP electric current is used to estimate the irradiance of the PV module that is connected in series.By using measured MPP electric current and environment temperature, the temperature of module can be estimated that this temperature rise coefficient is used for determining that the PV module is owing to the temperature that irradiance is higher than environment temperature rises by using temperature rise coefficient.
Fig. 2 shows MPP voltage and the MPP electric current of PV Blast Furnace Top Gas Recovery Turbine Unit (TRT) under the partial occlusion condition that comprises 18 PV modules that are connected in series.The irradiance of the PV module that is not blocked is 800W/m
2In this example, by the part of PV module is blocked the partial occlusion of realizing Blast Furnace Top Gas Recovery Turbine Unit (TRT) at every turn.Also change the intensity of blocking.Fig. 2 also is included in the MPP under the homogeneous condition that all PV modules all are blocked.MPP under these situations is the leftmost point in the point at one group of high voltage place.As can be seen, MPP electric current in these cases is owing to the intensity of blocking that changes changes.
Solid line among Fig. 2 show when temperature rise coefficient be 0(K
T=0(K/W/m
2)) time MPP under homogeneous condition, temperature rise coefficient is 0 to mean that the temperature of PV module does not remain in environment temperature because irradiance rises.This is not actual conditions.Technical descriptioon according to the PV module calculates temperature rise coefficient K
T=0.0325Km
2/ W, the technical descriptioon of PV module has provided the temperature of PV module under nominal operation condition (NOC).Temperature rise coefficient is the coefficient that depends on the PV module.
In Fig. 2 as can be seen, MPP near the electric current of 6A (corresponding to 800W/m
2Irradiance) locate or near the voltage place of 450V.Represent the MPP at low voltage place at MPP, and represent the MPP at high voltage place, shown in Fig. 1 (b) at MPP near the voltage place of 450V near the electric current place of 6A.As can be seen, the voltage of the MPP at low voltage place is different from the MPP voltage of (red point) under the homogeneous condition significantly.MPP for the high voltage place is really not so.For the MPP at high voltage place, MPP voltage is in close proximity to the MPP voltage under the homogeneous condition.In Fig. 3, show the MPP at high voltage place with expander graphs.The different condition of work of gray level expressing and block condition.
In Fig. 3 (a), as can be seen, be actually the feasible condition of work and the MPP that blocks under the condition that has a unique MPP near the point 31 the MPP under the homogeneous condition.This illustrates with curve 33 in Fig. 3 (b).Curve 33 bends near 180V, but curve 33 does not contain local MPP.
(from left to right) ensuing MPP 32 marks in Fig. 3 (a).These MPP are overall MPP, and the local MPP that this means the high voltage place compares with the MPP at low voltage place has more power.This illustrates with curve 34 in Fig. 3 (b).At last, all the other points are local MPP, and they compare the power that has still less with the MPP at low voltage place.This illustrates with curve 35 in Fig. 3 (b).
The present invention is based on the observed performance of PV Blast Furnace Top Gas Recovery Turbine Unit (TRT) with two maximum power points.Because the MPP electric current almost is directly proportional with the irradiance that is received by the PV module, thus can by to system with the electric current of the local MPP of its work with environment temperature is measured and by using temperature rise coefficient K
TThe temperature of calculating PV module is estimated the MPP voltage (the leftmost MPP point at Fig. 2 high voltage appearance place) under the homogeneous condition exactly.
As previously mentioned, if the PV Blast Furnace Top Gas Recovery Turbine Unit (TRT) in the MPP place work at low voltage place, then MPP voltage is different from the MPP voltage of estimation significantly.MPP for the high voltage place is really not so.But in Fig. 3 (a) as can be seen, with the point in the immediate MPP(of the MPP under the homogeneous condition zone 31) be actually and have a MPP under the MPP situation.Point in next immediate MPP(zone 32) be overall MPP.This shows, although under the situation of the MPP voltage slight error of estimating, may not can identify the condition of two maximum power points, the PV Blast Furnace Top Gas Recovery Turbine Unit (TRT) still can overall MPP place's work and can be owing to non-best operating point wasted power.
Differ big more between the measured MPP and the MPP of estimation, then might have the MPP that more power are arranged at the low voltage place more.This is shown in Fig. 4 (a) and Fig. 4 (b), wherein, the amount of the PV module that is blocked of expression is blocked in system, blocks intensity and represents owing to block the irradiance decay that causes (amount of the irradiance of decay with by the irradiance of the PV module reception that is not blocked ratio).
In Fig. 4 (a) as can be seen, when from the right lower quadrant of this figure when move in the upper left corner of this figure, voltage difference increases.As can be seen, identical situation has taken place in the difference power among Fig. 4 (b).As can be seen, at approaching cornerwise certain some place, difference power is 0 in Fig. 4 (b).In Fig. 4 (a), on identical diagonal line, the voltage difference between the measured MPP and the MPP of estimation is about 20V, and this can be used as the indication to the partial occlusion condition in the control algolithm of the PV Blast Furnace Top Gas Recovery Turbine Unit (TRT) that comprises the PV module that is connected in series.For 18 silica-based PV modules that are connected in series, the voltage difference of 20V is about 4% of a nominal open-circuit voltage.

In the block diagram of Fig. 5, this method starts from frame 51, and the IncCond in the frame 52 refers to a kind of MPP track algorithm, i.e. admittance delta algorithm, and this algorithm moves to the working point on the power-voltage curve of PV Blast Furnace Top Gas Recovery Turbine Unit (TRT) near the maximal value place.U

In next procedure, this control can turn back to the IncCond in the frame 52, perhaps can begin overall MPP(GMPP in frame 58) carry out certain search.
